The correct answer to what the author is talking about doing in the poem “Birthright” and what the mood of the poem is would be B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

When the author says that "We talked once of driving all the remote gravel roads, writing from here and there", "Today I am wondering about those unwritten drafts" and "But where could we travel and not long for the ache of wind blowing over open land?", she conveys that she wishes to drive all the remote gravel roads, exploring new places and experiences. Yet, the mood in her poem is thoughtful, because she talks about her family, her homeland and her ancestors. "You, the eventual heir to your family’s homestead; and me, an Indian woman who leases her land to white men made up of the same storm and grit and hunger as your grandfather", she says, moreover "Would we have listened and turned the far east or south and left behind the land our families have lived on for generations?", expressing her absorbing thoughts and also showing consideration for her hometown and family. Therefore, the correct answer is B. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is thoughtful.

The correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy because her mood is not happy. When she says "Could they have predicted the severity of this drought, would they have spoken to our own landscape, one of anger, sympathy and remorse", the author shows that she is reflecting about deep and difficult things, thus, her mood is not really happy. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be A. She discusses driving all the remote gravel roads and the mood is happy.

The correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark because she doesn't discuss taking over the family business in any part of the poem. On the contrary, she says that she should "abandon this place". Hence, the correct answer couldn't be C. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is dark.

The correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful, because of the same explanation given previously; the author doesn't discuss taking over the family business, on the contrary. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. She discusses taking over the family business and the mood is thoughtful.

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP! Match the logical fallacy to the correct definition.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

A) Fear appeals to the desire to be safe. To clarify, appeal to fear means presenting alternatives, one of which causes fear in order to force the person to choose what you would like them to choose.

B) False Dichotomy gives two choices, one of which is not truly an option. In false dichotomy, the alternatives do not exclude each other. They overlap, which means the person isn't really presented with a real opportunity to choose.

C) Slippery slope claims that one action leads to a series of undesirable events. This fallacy suggests that an insignificant first event might lead to another event, that might lead to yet another one and so on until, ultimately, a grand or disastrous event would happen in consequence of that first, small one.

D) Popularity claims something is true because most people agree. This fallacy basically states that, if everyone is doing it, then it's because it is the right thing to be done.

E) Post Hoc incorrectly assumes that one event causes another. This fallacy assumes that temporal succession establishes a connection between events. That is, if this event came after that one, it must be its consequence.

Answer:

B) She ruled the bright clouds that gleam in the summer sky and caused them to pour their showers on meadow, forest, and mountains.

Explanation:

This option seems to be the correct one as it gives the information in a

very articulated, and concise way. Also, the option is properly punctuated. Removing "where the mountains were" to just make it "mountains" makes the most sense and is more appropriate
